Tonight she told me that she wanted to exercise more because children make fun of her weight at school. I gave her a few words of encouragement, and a mat and set of light weights to take home. She left happy. And, I left amazed at how God inspires us to keep going. http://www.thekeystocanaan.org/2011/09/one-of-our-younger-exercise-class-participants-has-returned-tonight-she-told-me-that-she-wanted-to-exercise-more-because-children-make-fun-of-her-weight-at-school-i-gave-her-a-few-words-of-encourage/ http://www.thekeystocanaan.org/2011/09/one-of-our-younger-exercise-class-participants-has-returned-tonight-she-told-me-that-she-wanted-to-exercise-more-because-children-make-fun-of-her-weight-at-school-i-gave-her-a-few-words-of-encourage/#comments Wed, 28 Sep 2011 00:30:39 +0000 admin http://www.thekeystocanaan.org/?p=526 http://www.thekeystocanaan.org/2011/09/one-of-our-younger-exercise-class-participants-has-returned-tonight-she-told-me-that-she-wanted-to-exercise-more-because-children-make-fun-of-her-weight-at-school-i-gave-her-a-few-words-of-encourage/feed/ We are excited about working with our families as they strive to enhance their education, receive skills to assist them with securing employment and becoming more self-sufficient.
